The GaitheringHannah Lavery

We’re delighted to open our catalogue with a specially commissioned poem by Hannah Lavery, Edinburgh makar and award-winning poet, playwright and performer.

Wait, while I tell ye...

aw whits bin collecting swirling wi the words wi’ve saved up like stamps.

Here, I’ve things to tell ye stories that’ve bin chapping on my door.

Stories fae aw of us

that’ve bin gaithering here.

Coming doon wi the burns, swimming in the sea, the lochs, the local pool milling in the quiet corners, in the loud, in the open air aw wild,like.

Gossiping wi haunds held in closes, in forests

up the high street, by shore by oor screens – alone.

Wait, will ye?

Let me tell ye my stories

preserve them wi ye like jam, like chutney, like aiples

like days so sweet wi anely bring them oot in company – amongst friends.

Stories so treasured, we store them like china dugs in glass cabinets

haundling them wi care, afore passing them on.

Hannah Lavery’s poetry collection Blood Salt Spring is released in March 2022, priced £9.99.

Forty wasn’t too far away, either. He felt it encircling his thickening waist. His knees complained when faced with too many stairs. His eyes were under strain and he doubted he could chase a suspect the length of any street worth the name. Wiping condensation from the bus window, he looked out at a sky belched from the chimneys of the crumbling tenements, the same smoke that clung to the various civic buildings, once grandly Victorian but now in danger of being swamped by modernity. Old habitats were being demolished, shiny towering replacements planned, a motor-way carving its way through the city. Forget the old certitudes; they would soon be crushed underfoot like a fag end beneath a platform-soled shoe. Laidlaw didn’t doubt, though, that the replenished housing stock would fail to do much for Glasgow’s in-grained problems. Behind new glazing and harling he’d be sure still to find poverty, loveless marriages, drunken aggression, sectarian bile, like angry tattoos hidden under a laundered shirt.

He was only vaguely aware of his sur-roundings as he got off the bus at its next stop and crossed the road to await another back into town. The attempt to erase the memory of the briefing wasn’t working. He was seeing Milligan standing in front of his attentive audience, never happier than when issuing orders and offering the-ories as if they were diamond-hard facts. A wall of black and white photographs acted as scenery to his soliloquy. One of them showed graffiti on the rear wall of the Parlour, left there by the Gorbals Cumbie, a teenage gang whose current leader was called Malky Chisholm. Chisholm was a

college dropout whose ambition of becom-ing a social worker had led him to too close an association with the various groupings of feral young men. It had become like a drug to him, and eventually, having attempted to broker peace between the Cumbie and other gangs such as the Calton Toi, he’d been offered no choice but to take sides. The Cumbie had become his tribe and soon enough he’d been crowned their king. It helped that he was a gifted amateur boxer. A ‘square go’ held few fears for him – in a fair fight, he would almost always win. But he was cunning, too, meaning even unfair fights went his way.

Laidlaw was aware of a bit of history be-tween Chisholm and Milligan. Arrests made; charges dropped. Milligan was strapping on a pair of blinkers to go with his boxing gloves, ready to enter the ring again.

‘What this graffiti tells me,’ he had pon-tificated for the benefit of the room, ‘is that the Cumbie are encroaching on Calton turf. A stabbing is one hell of a calling card, wouldn’t you agree?’ His eyes had fixed on Laidlaw as he’d said this, as if daring him to shake his head. What would have been the point? The crime squad office was hardly the forum in Rome, and Laidlaw doubted anyone gathered there would have looked good in a toga. Ever since Lilley and Laidlaw had returned from the mortuary, Milligan had been waiting for them to complain that their trip there had been a waste of time. Neither man had done so, purely to deprive him of that pleasure.

Lighting another cigarette, Laidlaw became aware of a stooped old-timer with rheumy eyes who had joined the bus queue behind him.

The Dark Remains

‘You should enjoy life more, son. Your face is tripping you.’

The man’s breath was like a blowtorch, and Laidlaw wondered why it was that after a drink so many Glaswegians turned into the Ancient Mariner, eager to share their stories and wisdom with complete strangers. This particular example boasted a rolled-up newspaper, which he wielded like a baton, as if he could conduct the world.

‘At least it’s only my face that’s tripping me,’ Laidlaw responded. ‘Your whole life seems to be one long bout of falling over.’ He ges-tured towards the rips in the man’s trousers and the elbows of his worn-out jacket.

The man studied him, taking a step back as if to help him focus. ‘You look like an actor, son. Have I seen you in anything?’

‘We’re all actors in this town, haven’t you noticed? You’re acting right now.’

‘Am I?’‘Badly – but even bad acting deserves the

occasional round of applause.’ Laidlaw dug a few coins from his pocket and placed them in the man’s hand. ‘Should cover your bus fare. Either that or a paper from this week rather than last.’

There was a double-decker drawing towards them at that moment. Laidlaw gestured for the old man to precede him aboard, but then stood his ground and told the clippie he’d wait for the next one. The new passenger stared in bemusement from the window as the bell rang and the bus pulled away, depriving him of his audi-ence. Laidlaw didn’t doubt he would soon find another.

MAKES 8 GENEROUS BISCUITS

2 baking sheets, lined

9 cm scone or cookie cutter

For the shortbread:

250 g plain flour (plus more for dusting)

75 g cornflour

115 g soft dark brown sugar

250 g unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes

100 g pecans, roasted and chopped

100 g Caramelised White Chocolate, chopped into chunks

To finish:

200 g Caramelised White Chocolate, melted

100 g pecans, roasted and chopped

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan).

Weigh the plain flour, cornflour and sugar into your bowl and give it a little mix to combine. Add the butter and, picking up little handfuls of the mix, rub the butter in between your thumb and fingers (as though you’re making crumble) until it looks like breadcrumbs. Stir in the pecans and the Caramelised White Chocolate chunks until the dough starts to come together and it looks more like rubble. If you’re using a mixer, do the same steps on a low speed.

Bring the dough together into a ball with your hands and put it on a lightly floured surface.

Flatten it into a fat disc and sprinkle a tiny bit of flour over the top, then roll it out to about a

centimetre thick – don’t be tempted to roll the biscuits thinner or the nuts are likely to poke out of the dough and burn as they bake. Keep moving the dough a little as you roll it, rotating it so it doesn’t stick.

Swirl your cutter in the flour on your work surface then cut out eight rounds, re-rolling the dough a couple of times. Because this recipe (very satisfyingly!) uses all the dough with no leftovers, we make the last biscuit by putting the last of the dough inside the cutter and flattening it out with our fingers.If you have finger marks on the biscuit, just turn it over so the uneven side is on the baking sheet.

Pop the cut-out biscuits on the lined baking sheets with a little space between them. Pop the baking sheets in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes or in the freezer for ten minutes.

Bake the chilled biscuits for 25 to 30 minutes. Really the only way to tell these are done is by colour, though do bear in mind that they use dark brown sugar so they bake to a darker colour than traditional shortbread. When they are ready, they will be deep golden brown, a bit like the colour of a digestive biscuit. The colour may be a bit deeper round the edges and the middles will be almost firm. They will harden more as they cool.

Leave the biscuits to cool completely on the trays while you melt the remaining caramelised white chocolate, either in bursts in a microwave on low or in a small, deep heatproof bowl over some just-simmering water.

When the biscuits are cool, dip half of each one in the melted chocolate, put back on the baking sheet and scatter over the pecans before the chocolate sets.

Either pop them in the fridge or leave in a cool place for a little while until the chocolate hardens.

‘Do you know anything about this place?’ I asked Shuna. ‘Did someone say it belonged to a photographer?’

‘Yes, a historian and photographer, his name was Erskine Beveridge.’

‘What a great name.’‘It’s a sad story. His son inherited the house

and lived here alone. He was forbidden from marrying the love of his life, became an alcoholic and died crossing the sands to Vallay, caught by the tide.’

The Raven croaked again. So close now it must have been somewhere in the building. Maybe it had a nest here, or was just on the prowl. We looked in on a circular room as a Pigeon flew low over the fallen debris follow-ing the curve of the wall, soft feather-flap of air as it passed before disappearing through an archway. The place was derelict but puls-ing with life.

Ross and Chief followed us back down to the steading. ‘We’ll be back for you soon,’ I said to them, climbing over a wall. We wanted to explore the east end of the island and Angus had asked us not to go with the ponies as there were cows calving. As Shuna climbed over the wall beside me a buff bird whirred by before disappearing into the long grass.

‘A Corncrake!’‘That’s the first one I’ve ever seen,’ said

Shuna. ‘Oh, this place…’ I couldn’t agree more.The tide was going out and we followed

a trail of neat cattle hoof-prints and tiny pink cockle shells across the bay towards the promontory of Àird Mhic Caoilt. Past a gate with a hand-painted sign warning Cows Calving, Please Keep Out were the dun and the standing stones that Anne had told us about. The dun was easy to spot, a circular stone-built wall straddling the pre-existing

Marrambedrock. The sea was encroaching now, and I wondered how it had looked when it was first built 3,000 years or so ago. Had there been trees, and where had the high tide mark been way back then? Now the tides were breathing on the dun and sometime in the not-too-dis-tant future the sea would take it. We sat on the grassy top of the wall but weren’t the only ones to ever rest there. Little tubes of goose shit were dotted all about. There was a fence running through the middle of the dun with seaweed hanging from each square of rylock. I loved that this fence was there, that there were no paths to this ancient site, no signage, and wham-bam, a stock fence put up right through its centre. It was a living, breathing monument with tides and cattle and geese smoothing its edges.

There was an entrance way to the right, a beautifully crafted stonework channel that I imagined had originally been a doorway but was now a conduit for the sea. A tiny bird watched us from a grass tump beyond the dun. Bright glare from the sun came through the cloud and the air was warm. To my left a thick hessian rope dropped from beneath the turf, hanging over the inner wall of the dun and disappearing into a tangle of sea-weed and silverweed below. I found my bead, a gemstone I didn’t know the name of. Roughly shaped, its purple hues picked up the blush of an empty crab’s shell and the pink in the quartz running through the gneiss. I threaded the bead and tied it onto the thick rope, drawing the knot extra tightly.

‘Shall we leave the standing stones for another day?’ Shuna said. ‘It’s so nice just sitting here, listening to the Oystercatchers.’ I nodded, feeling a jolt of pleasure at the thought of coming back here sometime.
